A more singular post than is normal around here, but I am really into taking these high speed photos of spinning wood and stationary steel precipitating a diaspora of fibers and debris. This is a piece of a Kentucky Coffee Tree being made into a bowl.

Thank you to my great friend Cody for the first photograph in this group.
Come With a Stone Tree
Spout Root Spoon Route
Black walnut spoon with carving and ebonizing. It is for sale if you would like it.
Osage Orange long handled spoon. It too is for commerce.
Here is a little of that walnut spoon before it was finished. The black or ebonizing is made by brushing a little bit of vinegar that has iron oxide (rust) dissolved in it. It reacts with tannic acid in wood and turns black on contact.
Now that our does have freshened with the wholesome milk of provision we have soap abounding. It’s good stuff.
